Ted Nugent may not respect Jack White’s political views, but he was thoroughly impressed with the former White Stripes frontman’s electrifying halftime performance at the Detroit Lions game on Thanksgiving Day.
Nugent, who is known for his right-wing, gun-toting politics, took some time to praise White’s performance with Eminem in a video titled “Let’s Talk Music” recently posted on his YouTube channel. At the same time, the veteran guitarist also made sure to trash both of his fellow Detroit-area musicians.
As transcribed by ThePRP, the Motor City Madman said the following about White and Eminem:
“The guy in The White Stripes, I can’t think of his name, but he played the halftime show with Eminem for the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. A big deal. … Don’t they always lose? The Lions are a football team in Detroit, by the way.
Jack White, is that his name? Jack White. No, I think The White Stripes, is that his name? Anyhow, he was great. It wasn’t like a 10 like Sammy Hagar or James Brown. I think Sammy Hagar and James Brown and Steven Tyler, those are tens. Angus Young of AC/DC, that’s a 10. The guy’s a maniac. Billy Gibbons in the blues, rhythm, and blues, soul music category, he’s a 10.
Now, is that his name, Jack White? Jack White, he’s not a 10. He’s like a four and a five, but he really delivered real rock ‘n’ roll. Real Detroit piss and vinegar. And Eminem, the guy’s a… Both of those guys, Eminem and Jack White: total idiots.
They don’t want their country to have secure borders. They think men should destroy women’s sports. Well, that’s not… that’s exactly what they stand for. When you hate Donald Trump, you you want men in women’s sports to destroy women’s rights. That’s what these guys stand for. They don’t think our border should be secured. They think we should invite jihadists in who announce they want to kill the infidels. They announce they want to kill Americans. And Jack White and Eminem say, ‘Yeah, bring them in. Bring those guys in.’ Freak idiots.”

Jack White has been staunchly critical of Donald Trump, most recently lambasting the president over his insensitive comments surrounding the death of Rob Reiner.
Elsewhere in the same video, Nugent similarly complimented Green Day and Tom Morello as musicians, while also trashing their politics.
However, the guitarist does seem to have a warm place in his heart for Yungblud, saying, “Now, I got to tell you this, what’s this Yungblud guy? Limey freak madness. This guy’s the real McCoy. Watch this Yungblud that’s working with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry. It gives you hope that the really piss and vinegar, the James Brown, the original Chuck Berry, Little Richard is alive and well and this kid called Yungblud.”
